as the poster of the original question, let me give a clarification of what i was interested in. we're trying to set up a postscript printer on which we will enforce a weekly quota of pages. this printer (ideally) will be accessible from both macintoshes and unix boxes (using transcript and cap). we would like to be able to reject any jobs that would put the user over their page limit, so the best possible situation would be for us to be able to count the number of pages *before* the file gets sent to the laserwriter. If anyone can help, please reply by email Seth Strumph seth@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu
